Alan,
Would a UK:A license not have provided insurance and saved you the bother of obtaining your own? I trust your certificate of insurance will be on prominent display on the day.
Stephen,
Thank you very much for your intervention. Perhaps you could answer the following questions.
What was the UK:A license number for your Boxing Day 10k in Leyland?
Did you use the same course previously used by Red Rose Runners or a different one?
If it was different who measured it and when?
Finally, why can’t you spell memento?
I see you have not lost any of your charm!
Please come along to a race and say hello!
Would be nice to see an old friend
Momento (because you notice!)
Stephen - slightly off topic but I did Leyland Boxing Day race this time and have to say what a cracking route it is. My nephew and his Dad came to watch and stood near the mini golf course. They said it was a great race to watch as there was pretty much always someone passing that point. Not sure if Brian did measure it but when I ran with him for a bit at Preston 10 he did say he would be doing so, but would be watching the mighty whites on the day.
I am a mid-pack runner who races mainly races in Preston, Lancaster and Blackpool, and I for one am grateful for the organisation that go in by you and others.
Here, here maxpower and Egyptian Toe. Well done also to Alan as has worked tiresly to ensure the race is full and to give everyone a positive response (I'm sure hat as he's typing a few curses were coming out though
)
I'm looking forward to this event, personally it is just a shame that the missus and Ihaven't done the training we wanted to through one thing or another. With a time wer'e aiming for of eventually we should enjoy it!
Alan tried the link on here to this race online entry but you will be glad to know it came back page not found

Have had 40 emails asking for numbers and I dont like to say no but as the venue is not massive it would be unfair on runners and staff to cram even more in but if we have a success this year we will move the venue upto where the car park is and have a big marque and up the entry to 500 and make an event of it not just a run see you all there in under 2 weeks

Highly amusing as usual but you have failed to answer my questions. Your entry form for the Boxing Day 10k in Leyland claimed that there would be a UK Athletics license. Was there one or wasn’t there one? If there was one, what was the number?
Did you use Red Rose Runners’ course – the one they paid Brian Porter to measure in February 2011 – or one of your own? If it was your own, then who measured it and when?
Come on, Stephen, I’ve taught you how to spell memento. The least you can do is answer my questions!
Soup, welcome back.
The suggestion has been made that you are I are one and the same person. Of course I can neither confirm nor deny this, and you are presumably in a similar position.
I will have a look on the Boxing Day thread to see if your questions have been answered (but if we are one and the same person I already know)
Steve:
Soup is correct about memento
Memento is something to remember and event.
Momento is a short period in time
I couldn't find a Boxing Day 10K thread (but then maybe I already knew that!)
Boxing Day 10K did have a UKA license I believe.
As I understand it, it was a different course to the Red Rose 10K.
It didn't have a measurement certificate that I aam aware of.
Brian,
You might be right about the Boxing Day 10k in Leyland having a UK Athletics license. One thing that casts it into doubt is that Power of 10 have not listed the athletes' performances. That is usually an indication that there was no license.
All I am asking is that Stephen, as the organiser, lets us know the license number if there was one. I am not aware that he has bothered with them for his other events.
It is interesting that he used a Fylde Coast Running template for his entry form and included their "UK:A Affiliation Number" (whatever that means) on his form.
As regular observers will have noted, Soup and i have had many a spat on these threads.
Soup will even be able to provide dates times and places. I can't.
I don't go into the same detail as Soup either.
But I will say this: he/she (or if the rumour is true, I ) has been instrumental in raising the standard of organisation of a number of races in Lancashire particularly.
That can not be a bad thing.
I am prepared to call a truce with Soup.
The rules provided by both UKA and ARC are there to ensure good events are staged that protect both organisers and competitors.
Unfortunately there are both organisers and participants who see fit to bend, bypass or totally ignore those rules and just do their own thing.
Cheers
Alan,
That’s very good news. I am pleased for all those taking part.
What is the license number for the race and your UK:A Affiliation number by the way?
What a pity we don’t know what the license number was for Shoestring Results’ Boxing Day 10k in Leyland. Or why they used Fylde Coast Running’s UK:A Affiliation number. And if the course was measured and certified? And if so when and by whom?
